About:
libmsquic is Microsoft's cross-platform, high-performance C implementation of the QUIC and TLS protocols. It provides a robust foundation for building fast, secure, and reliable network connections, designed for both client and server applications. This library is optimized for low latency and high throughput, making it ideal for demanding cloud and edge scenarios.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform C library (Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.)
  • High-performance with support for congestion control and pacing
  • Built-in TLS 1.3 security for encrypted communications
  • Supports multiple QUIC protocol features like 0-RTT and connection migration
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance network clients and servers
  • Implementing custom protocols over QUIC
  • Accelerating data transfer in cloud-native applications
Alternatives:
  • ngtcp2 – ngtcp2 is another popular QUIC implementation, often used with OpenSSL or GnuTLS, whereas libmsquic aims for a self-contained, performance-focused solution.
  • quiche – quiche is Cloudflare's QUIC implementation written in Rust, offering memory safety guarantees, while libmsquic provides a C API for broader language interoperability.
